John Fitzgerald Kennedy, our nations 35th President, was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He died at the age of 46. He was the youngest man elected President and the youngest to die in office.
             John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917. He graduated from Harvard University in 1940 and entered into the United States Navy.

In 1960 he was running for President of the United States. In the popular vote, Kennedy won the election by a narrow margin and became our nations 35th President.

Some people believe that someone lured him to Dallas that day. And within that belief, there are several "someone's" that may apply. All depending entirely on whom you talk to. This is just one example of how so many theories have been formulated since the incident.

Many of the onlookers captured the tragic moment on film, but one particular person provided the cleanest footage. An amateur photograph
